Is it customary to tip these delivery devices?

I suggest they should be tipped on their back.

This lady has my full support.

New comment by morninglight in "Nobody pays for FOSS, we can force them to"

Our school system has been using FOSS products for years.

In effect, it is a donation to a non-profit organization.

However, I'm not aware of any of the creators reaping a tax deduction for their donation.

Donating a used car to a non-profit has a well established path to this end.

Are any FOSS authors using a similar method to attain some payback?

Ireland doesn't offer the political roadblocks that the US currently faces. Until that changes, progress will continue to be slow in this country.

Does this mean that no U.S. privacy oriented data will be stored in Finland. No traceable HIPAA data or financial data and no national security data. ... or is it stored in Finland but encoded.

"She suspected the HPV infection of the oral airway occurred through oral/genital contact."

"...the overriding risk factor for the cancer was multiple sex partners"

"...people who reported more than six oral sex partners through a confidential survey had a higher than eight-fold increased risk of developing cancer."

While living in Japan, our kid used a cellphone with 3 buttons.

1. Call mom, 2. Call dad. 3. Call Auntie.

These kid's phones were very common, inexpensive and worked great.
